Those who knew the 6-year-old girl with curly, brown hair will remember her infectious smile, peals of laughter and her spirit, according to her obituary.

Avielle moved to Newtown last year with her parents, Jennifer Hensel and Jeremy Richman. She was among those killed Friday when a gunman opened fire at Sandy Hook Elementary School.

She spent the summer swimming, going to the library and practicing archery. Avielle also went on a 1,300-mile road trip with her family from Sandy Hook to Iowa, according to the Waterloo-Cedar Falls Courier, based in Waterloo, Iowa.

The blog is filled with photographs of Avielle during her outdoor adventures and trips.

One is with her training pony, Betty, at Zoar Ridge Stables in Sandy Hook.

Her trainer, Annette Sullivan, who owns the stables, told the Connecticut Post. Avielle would "giggle when she trotted," and liked to wear her pink cowboy boots.

"Her smile could get her out of anything," Sullivan told the paper.

She turned 6 on Oct. 19. In her birthday photo, she is sporting a sly smile, wearing a dress with a cow on it; she is standing barefoot in the driveway, with white sunglasses pushing back her long locks.

"I know that every parent says this, but holy cow I can't believe how fast time flies!" the post reads.

The blog's final post was on Nov. 19, about a Thanksgiving Day parade in Stamford, Conn.

The earliest post was in May, at the 12th annual Pootatuck Duck Race.

Avielle was born in San Diego. But her family's roots are in Connecticut, the Washington Post reported.

Her passions were her friends, music, horseback riding, archery, kung fu, swimming, ice skating and participating in superhero adventures, according to her obituary.

Her father wrote a blog about Avielle's first day of first grade at Sandy Hook Elementary.
